More Polyps!!

It's been 6 months since the hysteroscopy and I start 2013 with more bleeding. The doctor and nurse both said " give it 24 hours, and if no change, go to A & E. 24 hours later and no change (other than it getting worse!) off we go to Wythenshawe hospital again. I really do spend too much time there!!
After a examination by the gynae doctor ( who I first met when I was rushed in with chest pains during chemo. She has since chosen her specialty. It was oddly quite comforting to see a familiar face)
They told me that I would be kept in overnight so they could stop the bleeding. The scan showed that my uterus is cystic again, so, more polyps. Blimey, they grow quickly. They said there is also a follicle on my ovary, which would indicate ovulation. So despite enforced menopause...twice, my ovaries want to work again. You can't keep a good ovary down!!. Anyway the end result is another hysteroscopy on Feb 19th and my consultant and I will be discussing hysterectomy after that. I am quite comfortable with the idea of that. I no longer have use for a womb or ovaries and on the plus side,it's 2 more places that the cancer cannot return to.
I have decided that it's about time I started to take some exercise. My normally strong and chunky legs were somewhat wasted after chemo ( sadly, the strength was affected but not the chunkiness). Starting off with some sensible walking. Did 3.5 miles in the snow yesterday. My back is not impressed.
Will update after the hysteroscopy. Until then............KEEP CHECKING!!!!!!
